Art on the Trail
Discover the PMA Collection in the Wild!
Now in it’s fourth year, Art on the Trail brings more than two dozen reproductions from the Portland Museum of Art’s collection into scenic locations across Maine
From wooded trails to botanical gardens, Art on the Trail invites you to experience art in the heart of nature.
We’re proud to partner with Evergreen Credit Union, Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureau of Parks and Lands, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Pineland Farms, Range Pond State Park, and Portland Trails to bring art to the places Mainers and visitors explore and hike.
